If you wanna add a Pop-Out Facebook Like Box in your website or blog, first you must have a Facebook Page. If you already have it then it's OK. But if you don't have it, then create a Facebook Page with your FB account. 

Many websites or blogs have a Facebook Like box in their pages. But adding a Facebook Like box may consume valuable space. As a result, many people are no longer willing to add it. Pop Out  Facebook Like Box may be the solution of this problem. 

I'm gonna share a small script with you. By this script you can easily add pop out like box in your site. Just place the below code in the header of your page. I believe this simple code should work for all. 

And if you use this code on blogger then follow the steps below: 

1. First sign in in your blog and hit on the design button from the top right corner.
2. Then choose the layout option.
3. Here you'll find several buttons to add a gadget. 
4. You can choose anyone it doesn't matter. Click on Add a Gadget.
5. Now you'll see a list of gadgets. Choose HTML/ JavaScript. 
6. Then copy and paste the below code in the content box > Save > Save arrangement.
7. Now visit your blog and see the result. 

<script
   type="text/javascript"
   src="http://www.monkeyphysics.com/fb-sidelike/fb-sidelike.js"
   fbpage='markspcsolution'></script>

NB: Replace the red part of the code with your Facebook page name. 

Customization: You can't directly customize this code.
Because this code is just a script. The original code is located in the server. If you wanna customize this code then you must upload the original code in your own server. You can download the code from the links below: 

1. Code Script. 
2. Image 1 and Image 2. 

And if you use your own server then replace the script tag with you own server. 
I mean- src="http://www.monkeyphysics.com/fb-sidelike/fb-sidelike.js"

If you've a blog or website then you may need a flag counter to know where do your site's visitors come from? Or how many countries has your blog reached so far? 

Today I'm gonna share a html code with you. This code will show the total page views of your site with total number of countries, unique visitors per country with flag label. All you need to do is just place an html gadget in your page. Or if you're new, then follow the simple steps below: 

1. If your site is powered by blogger then sign in to your account. Then go to the layout option from the design. Then click on Add a Gadget where you wanna place this flag counter. Or if you're on WordPress or any other CMS system then follow the steps that let you add an HTML code on your site. 
2. Then select HTML/ JavaScript. 
3. Now copy and paste the following HTML code in the box and click save. 
4. Then click on Save Arrangement. 
5. Now visit your site and see the result. 

<a href="http://s06.flagcounter.com/more/sqB"><img src="http://s06.flagcounter.com/count/sqB/bg_FFFFFF/
txt_000000/border_CCCCCC/columns_6/maxflags_30/
viewers_Visitor+Counter+by+Flag/labels_1/pageviews_
1/flags_1/" alt="free counters" border="0" /></a>

Customization: You can customize the above code as below. 

1. Number of Column: Notice the red colored (columns_6) text of the code. You can use 2, 3, 5 or more. This number determines how many columns will be displayed for showing flag. Maximum 8 columns can be displayed. 
2. Maximum Flag: Then see the green colored part (maxflags_30). It means what will be the maximum number of flag. You can choose 20, 30, 40 etc. You can choose more than 100. But     I prefer below 30. Because choosing more than 30 flag will increase the loading time of your page.
3. Flag Label: Now move to the purple colored part (labels_1). Labels_1 means it will show the label after the flag image. For example: US, UK, BD, PK etc. But showing label increase the size of the flag counter. If you wanna hide the label then replace the text as labels_0.

How to Create a Custom Toolbar for Website

A customized toolbar of your blog or website may increase visitors loyalty. If they found your toolbar useful they can use it in browser. And this is also important for your site's ranking. There may be hundred ways to build a toolbar. Some of them are free or some may be premium. 

For creating toolbar, my personal choice is Alexa. Why? 

• Because it's free and easy to use. 
• You can easily monitor the usage statistics. 
• And most importantly, alexa is a ranking site. It measures websites ranking from 1 to the last. 
• Alexa considers the site most that has its toolbar and widget in the page. 

Let's build a toolbar now. 

1.  First go to the Alexa and register an account. It takes 2 or 3 minutes. If you already have 
     an account then proceed to the next step. 

2.  Now go to the toolbar creator page.

3.  A pop up window will ask you to enter the toolbar name. Type the name or skip it. 
     You can write a name later.

4.  Now look at the image below. Here you can edit toolbar name and choose a logo. 

5.  Have a look at the Add buttons that drive traffic to your website. There are 4 buttons.  

     Only add the buttons that is necessary for you. Because you can't add 

     all the buttons due to the space limitations. 

6.  Now move to the Add social networking buttons section. Add only the first 2 buttons. 

     Show tweets button is not necessary. Click Next. 

7.  Add buttons for things that your users do everyday. This is the most useful part for 
     the users. I recommend you to add the Personal Twitter and Gmail button. Click Next.

8.  This step let you add an icon for the toolbar. You can either choose an icon made earlier 
     or use the default. I prefer to use the custom image. Click Next.

You're almost done. Publish it to make the toolbar available for download. But how can your visitors will get it? 

Go to the dashboard and click on your toolbar. Then you'll find different shapes and colors. Choose the color and shape as your choice from step 1 and 2. Then add a HTML gadget in your blog by the html code from the step 3. Place the gadget in a part of the page where the visitor can easily find it.

Currently the alexa toolbar works with Chrome, Firefox and IE. Hope it will support more browsers in the future. 

Have a look at the sample toolbar below:

If you have any query regarding toolbar creator then leave a comment.
